Doc put me on bed rest from this week and honestly im a little worried about putting on too much weight just lying down all day. Cant walk or do much, MIL keeps feeding me. Anyone who was on bed rest, how did u manage?
Listen, don't stress too much about the weight right now, okay? Just try to avoid deep-fried snacks and eat small healthy portions like nuts or roasted makhana. You can easily lose the weight later, right now baby is most important!
I had a normal delivery last year and gained a lot, but staying active with deep breathing helped. Try eating high-fiber foods so you don't get constipated while resting. Keep a positive mind, everything will go well!
Every pregnancy is different, so please check with your gynac first. They can tell you exactly how many calories you need daily. Don't take any random diet tips online while you are on strict bed rest.
I totally understand how difficult it is to lie down all day and watch your body change. It feels so frustrating sometimes, but please remember you are doing this for your little miracle. Try eating light home-cooked meals like khichdi to feel lighter.
Please consult your gynac before changing anything in your diet during bed rest. When I had complications, even minor diet changes had to be approved. Weight gain is normal, but your doctor can guide you best on what is safe for your body.
I am still trying to conceive, so I don't have personal experience with bed rest. But my sister-in-law was in a similar situation and she used to drink lots of water and eat fresh fruits. Maybe you can ask your doctor for a very gentle, light meal plan?
I always feel that healthy home food like upma and seasonal fruits is the best and cheapest option. Outside snacks are not only unhealthy but waste of money too. Save that cash because delivery and hospital tests cost so much nowadays!
Honestly, I am in my third trimester now and I feel like a potato even without bed rest! Just try to stay away from the late-night kitchen trips if you can. It's tough when you can't move, but we got this!
Haan na, bed rest pe weight control karna is so difficult. Try eating thoda dry fruits and coconut water instead of heavy meals. Ho na, we just want to eat snacks when we are bored in bed, but avoid that.
